Guest Reviews
- Torsten (3/5): - Die Lage direkt in der Altstadt ist optimal.Das Alte Gebäude ist auch einladend. Leider ist die Einrichtung sehr Altmodisch und Lieblos gestaltet.So auch die Küchen- Ausstattung,Bad und Betten sehr einfach und abgenutzt.
Auch die Sauberkeit könnte besser sein.
Somit ist das Appartement das schlechteste,welches wir in 3 Wochen Rundreise erlebt haben.
- Gafa (8/5): -
- Ahmad (5/5): -
- silvestri (5/5): - La posizione al centro I servizi erano assenti il bidet che fuoriuscita acqua da sotto e doccia che non usciva acqua
- Oksana (5/5): Gradevole perché per fortuna stavamo solo per dormire. - La stanza spaziosa è il terrazzo ottimale per la sera. La cucina sporca che se la toccavi ti lasciava uno strano appiccicoso addosso. La bratta trovata tra le posate e la sua amica morta nelle scale. L acqua poca di casa ma “ad Ortigia parrebbe che con i turisti l acqua sparisca”
- Natalia Jackeline (10/5): -
- Joanna (5/5): Ortigia is wonderful, but the apartment is poor. - Świetna lokalizacja. We arrived around midnight. The door was locked, no key. Difficult contact with the owner. It turned out that the host made a mistake and thought that we would arrive the next day. We waited for him in the street for about half an hour. When he arrived, it turned out that it was dirty and he changed the bed linen quickly. We waited another half hour. The next day we had to leave the apartment between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. because the cleaning lady came. The owner promised to give her money for one night's accommodation, but he didn't. She didn't reply to messages, contact was very difficult. A sad and unpleasant situation.
- Dan (5/5): Accomodation wasn't the best but it was worth the price. - Location of the accomodation is perfect.
Accomodation was spacious, clean and had 2 toilets.
Nice balcony with view of the street. WiFi not working, bottom, 1st and 2nd floor we're not heated (there was about 15 °C).
Showerhead was weird, the toilet was leaking all the time.
Lightbulb in the top room didn't work and the balcony looked like construction site.
Stairway to the top floor seemed temporary and not safe at all.
Host spoke very little English.
- Demszky (8/5): Very good -
- Yavor450 (7/5): Perfect location - Perfect location, close to the cathedral, shops, restaurants. Good equipement. We were in January, it was cold in the flat, 3 floors with no doors, 1 door to 1 bedroom. One air conditioner on the third floor, not able to heat enough - no door. The air conditionair on the second floor doesn't work - it is in the corridor, not in the room!? Very cold inside during this season, the first night we were without heating, slept with hats! The second evening the owner brought gas for the heater /there was no gas initially/, we put it in the room. Finally the problem was solved - we warmed the room. Thank you, Mister! The bed on the third floor - my children - young boys were there, I'm not sure if it was hot enough - the conditionair is not strong in my opinion. The staircase to the third floor is not comfortable - difficult to go up and down, not large at all.
- Gergő (8/5): An enormus apartment in Ortigia with a fantastic roof terrace. - An enormus apartment with excellent location. The roof terrace is fantastic. The wifi is quite slow and unstable. An oven or a microwave oven would make the apartment more comfortable.
- Grigorii (3/5): Could've been a good deal, but there's a catch - Having a whole house to yourself on the island of Ortigia turned out to be a fantastic deal.
There are 3.5 floors in the house - ground floor having the dining room/kitchen studio and an extra restroom (with only the toilet), 1.5 floor is actually just half the floor with a bed, a chest of drawers and overlook on the ground floor, second floor with a spacious bedroom with a wardrobe and a balcony + a bathroom with a shower, and finally the third floor is a smaller bedroom (but with a bonus of own A/C unit, as the bedroom below only has one outside of the room) with a roof patio.
It's centrally located (although on the island of Ortigia it would be challenging to *not* be located centrally, as it is very small) and is right next to the marina, in the second line of buildings (so no direct line of sight to the sea from the house).
Other reviews stated that it was too humid in the house - we didn't notice that at all. Might also be the fact that it was +35°C on some days.
I write the following here because apparently there's a limit on how much can one write in the negative section:
Unfortunately, there are a lot of negatives which took a lot away from what could've been a fantastic stay.
The house, if put lightly, is in state of disarray. There are many minor things falling off, missing or broken. The bathroom door on the ground floor can't be fully closed and locked and is also missing a handle on the inside. On the bottom of the toilet of this bathroom was a small metallic object, what I can only guess was a part of the toilet paper holder which fell off directly into the toilet. It being made of metal doesn't let it flush down, so it just stays there (and already stayed there who knows how long).
In the kitchen there was no kettle or bottle opener.
Entering the shower on the second floor - if you pull the handle to open the water it just stays in your hand. The holder for the shower head is all wiggly and is also ready to just fall off. The shower head itself is already falling apart and just lets the water out of the sides, instead of the nozzles, reducing overall water pressure by a lot. The bedroom on the second floor was missing a light bulb (which we found an extra light bulb on the third floor, but the string you have to pull to turn the light on is also missing, so we never found out if it works at all)
The ladder to the third floor has seen better days. Endless amounts of tape around broken pieces of the railing (some are sharp, too). Above the bed is what used to be a lamp, wiring just sticking out of the wall. Same under the A/C unit, some wiring and a mount for who knows what.
The cherry on top of the poop-cake - the patio. The inside door handle of the door to the patio stays in your hand if you pull it, so closing the door was a challenge. The outside door handle - drum roll - doesn't do anything. So if you close the door fully while outside - you are stuck on the patio forever (or until someone lets you in, if you have someone left inside, that is). Some miscalculations were made when measuring how big of a screen is needed to cover the patio from the sun, but it was put up as is anyway.
The nail on the coffin was the communication with the host, who ignored all my messages via Booking until I involved support.
- Phil (10/5): Lots of space and in a great location! - Good venue in a very good location. It was perfect for what I needed
